Jake had a 25 foot birdie putt on his final hole for 58, but finished with 60. It is the best round ever in the 79 year history of Haggin Oaks!

Congrats! I have shot many 70’s and a few 69’s at Haggin but a 60 WOW! I am wondering how he made a 25 foot birdie putt for 58 but finished with a 60. It was the last hole? Anyways 60 is great and he looks really young.

Played many times at Haggin oaks and was lucky that Aubrey Bates let me part of great memories there. Bob E Smith was our stud along with Bob Irving,Gerry,Yule, Dennis Harper and other Hornets of that era.Always loved the course and did not know it’s great history until I found this site.Tommy Lopresti must have been part of that time when Hogan won his first PGA money.What a place. Wow, it takes me back to happy times from 62 to 67.
